Editing Orgasm

'''Orgasm''' is a physiological phenomenon typically associated with sexual activity. It is characterized by intense physical pleasure, controlled by the [[autonomous nervous system]], and is accompanied by quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround the primary sexual organs and the anus.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5087699/|title=The neurobiology of orgasm|access-date=2021-09-30}}</ref>

Orgasms are part of human sexual response cycle. They often occur as a result of continued sexual stimulation, and are commonly associated with other phases of the sexual response cycle, including arousal, plateau, and resolution.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279288/|title=Sexual Response Cycle|access-date=2021-09-30}}</ref>

==Physiology==
The physiological process of orgasm has been studied extensively, with a key focus on understanding the changes that occur in the body during this experience. The process of orgasm is controlled by the [[autonomous nervous system]] and involves a series of rhythmic contractions of the muscles of the pelvic floor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5087699/|title=The neurobiology of orgasm|access-date=2021-09-30}}</ref>

==Health and psychological effects==
Orgasm has various health and psychological effects. It can help to relieve stress, improve mood, and even promote better sleep. It is also associated with certain health benefits, such as improved immune function and pain relief.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6525106/|title=Health and Sexual Benefits of Orgasm|access-date=2021-09-30}}</ref>
